Abstract
A submarine apparatus includes an internal bellows pipe that compresses and decompresses as the apparatus descends into and ascends within a water current. When the device is in a rising pressure process, water may condense inside a tube which may be collected in a tank. Water may also be condensed due to cold temperatures of the surrounding water and relative warmer air inside the AWS. The water may be used as a fresh source of water for drinking. Some embodiments include a generator assembly that generates electricity from a propellor move within the current. The electricity may be routed to powered components in the apparatus.
Claims18
An air-water submarine, comprising:
- a buoyant submersible housing;
- a dive plane attached to the buoyant submersible housing;
- a propellor system attached to an end of the submersible housing:
- a bellows pipe positioned inside the submersible housing and coupled to the propellor system, wherein the bellows pipe changes from an expanded state to a contracted state in response to a change in pressure on the submersible housing;
- a first tube connected to the bellows pipe, wherein air inside the bellows pipe is inhaled from ambient air above the surface of the water in the expanded state, and expelled from the bellows pipe in the contracted state;
- and
- a second tube connected to the bellows pipe, disposed to collect condensation that forms in response to the bellows pipe changing between the expanded state and the contracted state.
